    Nitro R/C Cars

    Really cheap but seems quite good
    Radio Control Celica Car - Glow Fuel Engine, 4WD system, with speeds up to 40mph! - Ebuyer

    very tempted at that price :/

    only thing is I cant think anywhere large with a good surface to use it, so I might get one of the offroad ones instead.

    Smartech--HOBBY,R/C CARS, RC CARS, R/C, RC, RADIO

    Anyone know of other resonably cheap brands I can look at.
    I know they are easy to break, I found quite a few parts sites for the smartech one.

    It doesn't say what you get for the price. If it includes ALL radio equipment (controller, crystal, a couple of servos and glow starter) then it looks like a decent price. Googling the manufacturer brings up nothing and Ebuyer isn't somewhere i'd consider buying something like this.
    As you say, things do break and since it's pre-assembled it will proably be harder to fix, you may also find it hard to get spares.

    I had a smarttech car and whilst it was quick as hell, it was dificult to get parts when you stuff it into a wall or something. I would probably avoid them.

    How much you looking to spend all in?
